June 8 The calls of this species are very similar to those
of zonatus — and any differences I note are only
general impressions — but there seems a
slight but less voriferous and the call seemed less
grating or nasal. Degree of difference is no greater
than between calls of humilis and rufinucha.
Other birds in area:
1) Pipilo — I seen singing in small oak 2) Troglodytes
lurmeicelli — abundant in understory and especially
around logs on the ground. Young out of nest 3) Piranga
flava — several seen. 3) Caprimulgus — collected 2
juveniles — heard a bird calling just at dark from
in trees near tent 5) 1 — a whip-poor-will call
but distinct from call of C. voriferus of Chiapas
highlands, being less clearly whip-poor-will. 3) Red-
Worbler — common.
Several wrens collected today are in beginning molt of
wing and have small gonads. Others are apparently
just beginning the breeding season as I took 7 ready
to lay eggs.. This is odd when because C.m. nelsoni
now has young fully grown - " Matrica "
Small boy here called my wrens Matriscula.
